He may be an OK guy, but his method of correcting your ball watching was stupid and out-of-line. We're adults and there are ways to correct another official's weaknesses without dropping F-bombs or threatening. You took it well, but most newer officials would find his method discouraging rather than constructive. Hopefully when you are in the mentoring position, you'll be more mature than him.
